Overview
- In clips for John Obi Mikel’s Obi One podcast, Costa called Antonio Conte untrusting, “always angry,” and someone who “thinks he knows everything.”
- He revisited the 2017 breakdown that featured a January squad omission and a summer text from Conte telling him he was not in the manager’s plans.
- Costa said training under Conte was not enjoyable and claimed his teammates did not like the coach during their title-winning season together.
- The 37-year-old remains without a club following the expiry of his contract with Brazilian side Gremio in 2024.
- Conte now leads Napoli, and a 1-1 draw with Copenhagen in the Champions League has increased scrutiny of their campaign, with the result described as unacceptable.
